sorry, took me a long time to get back with the holidays and what not..

I tried doing that on my Windows machine, and it didn't do a thing.  
which is weird.  I also tried un-plugged the power and watching if it 
sent any info thru the comport by leaving the connection open.  nada..

I am wondering if the 1200 has a different set of operating 
instructions?  I hope not..  Any programs I can snoop on the comport 
while I use the windows program to connect to the UPS (I am assuming 
that is how you guys figure out how program drivers?).

any help is gRReat :)
